THE GOAT

View Assignment Details

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. Lebron is my favorite CURRENT player, but as far as stats, achievements and all-around skill; MJ has all other players beat. This highlight reel shows MJ in his prime and proves his dominance of the game of basketball.

While I am a Duke College basketball fan, MJ’s greatness started while he was in college at UNC (Duke’s biggest rival). He was destined to be great. He is my greatest influence with the game and many can learn from his skill, patience and knowledge of the game of basketball. This vid is only part of his greatness!

To create this video, I downloaded a bunch of highlight clips of Jordan from the internet. I uploaded these clips into iMovie and ordered them how I wanted. I added some background music, and an intro with additional audio. With all of these pieces finally in the “piece”, I edited everything as a whole to get it exactly how I wanted to showcase the hall-of-famer.

This is the Highlight Reels assignment. Worth 5 stars.

Touchdown – Steelers

View Assignment Details

For the first 5 of my 15 stars I chose to do “Highlight Reels” – I couldn’t just choose one person though! I love my Steelers and it takes “teamwork” so I couldn’t leave anyone out. Still holding the record for the most Super-Bowl Wins!!

It took some research and a lot of patience and time to get all the clips. They make some good touchdown moves! Added a little theme music to set the mood and a couple of extra pictures to finish it off! I put it together in Movie Maker and am really proud of the end result:

Channel your inner ESPN and clip together highlights of your favorite athete, set it to some music, and add an intro

5 Stars!

For this assignment I picked Alex Ovechkin a right wing for the Washington Capitals. I found this was a good choice as he had many highlights and they were not hard to find. For the intro to this video I used an ESPN commercial that was made a few years back which i found hysterical and I think many others will as well. I then found a couple other highlights on Youtube and pieced them all together using Windows Movie Maker. This was my first real assignment with Movie Maker and it was a bit challenging. I found the trim tool the hardest to use and fading in different videos was hard to get perfect. The transitions are not as good as they could be but I did the best I could. This was a great assignment as i found the Sports theme to fit my interests. Enjoy!

Below is my second Video Assignment for the week!

Choose your favorite sports team, and make a video montage much like you would see in the pregame video in the stadium or arena. Make it look authentic! Add music and any effects to really push your montage to the next level!

4 1/2 Stars!

I found this assignment to be some of my best work yet. I used three different Videos for this assignment and I think they all came together very well. The intro is awesome as it is full of suspense and leads into some awesome highlights “pumping-up” the viewer for the season to come. I added some visual effects for each transition that I really found to fit well. Once again I used Windows Movie Maker to complete this project. For this video I ran into some trouble with uploading it to Youtube. The file format from Windows Movie Maker was not cooperating with what Youtube wanted but with a little playing around i was able to convert the format and make it work. This is again Capitals themed as they are my favorite sports team! I hope you enjoy!
